#1 RogerC Jul 24, 2014 17:30:05	So I rolled up a few Basic characters.  A thousand, actually.   You can take a look here.   Might be useful to someone out there.       Cheers, Roger
#2 Karnos Jul 24, 2014 17:56:34	Crazy.  Did you use a program to generate them all, or did you do these by hand?
#3 Rhenny Jul 24, 2014 17:59:39	Wow...that's incredible.  I was just thinking about how nice it would be to have a bank of pre-made PCs to use.   Thanks.
#4 akaddk Jul 24, 2014 18:11:10	Lol, this is just crazy enough to be brilliant.
#5 Lharn Jul 24, 2014 18:36:58	I'd be interested in knowing what the average stat array out of 1000 is.
#6 RogerC Jul 24, 2014 19:04:35	They're programmatically-generated.  I don't have quite that much free time.   I'm not sure what the most-common stat array would be, but I'll find out.       Cheers, Roger
#7 kanageddaamen Jul 24, 2014 20:15:43	4d6 drop, I assume?  The stats seem extraordinarily high, seeing as things seem to be focused around a high of 15 for pre racial stats this edition.  Are they just sorted by total stat points?  (looks like the high stat arrays are first and the craptacular ones last)

#9 ShadeRaven Jul 24, 2014 21:12:47	That is awesome stuff, but, yeah, the stats seem a bit excessive at times: 002 Diesa Torunn: S20 D14 C18 I14 W15 C15   Easily alterable, though, and having a database of name, classes, traits, personality, etc., is highly useful.
#10 Azzy1974 Jul 24, 2014 21:40:22	Dude!
#11 Ramzour Jul 25, 2014 0:31:32	Very nice OP! Might I suggest that you somehow sort the pregens by class? And then you have a small Table of Contents in the front that says "Fighters pages 1-15, Clerics, pages 16-25" and so on. This would make it much easier to find the character you're looking for.   Also, the common stat array (before racial mods) is: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 08
#12 Cennedi Jul 25, 2014 1:07:38	Holy smokes dude!    respect.
#13 frothsof Jul 25, 2014 5:24:01	Ya did good kid
#14 EMR Jul 25, 2014 6:32:42	They all seem to be level 1. (I haven't read them in detail so I could be wrong.  There is 1000 of them after all) Any chance you can run your program a few other times to get some other levels in there?
#15 alienux Jul 25, 2014 10:31:13	Very nice! I think I'd avoid this guy, though:   1000 Rolen Gemflower, Elf (High) Fighter (Two-Weapon); S4 D13 C10 I10 W7 C5
#16 RogerC Jul 25, 2014 8:22:30	Someone asked me what the most common stat array from rolling best-3-of-4d6 is; turns out it is: 15,14,13,12,11,10. Which is 30 points under the standard point buy.     They're all level 1; I'm not sure if I'll generate any at higher levels.  It gets more complicated in a hurry, but it might be useful.       Cheers, Roger
#17 DM_HEEGZ Jul 25, 2014 8:48:21	These are great, thanks. I don't suppose you will make an updated set with the other classes/races when the PHB is released? I don't see a huge need to upgrade them from level 1 as that is pretty easy to do once you have these basic stats.
#18 RogerC Jul 25, 2014 11:51:06	If and when the Basic rules get updated with new material, I'll probably incorporate it.
#19 RogerC Jul 28, 2014 16:58:21	Based on some good suggestions, I've updated my document containing the thousand pre-generated Basic characters to add several indices. You could find a random character who is: * a dwarf * a hill dwarf * a hill dwarf fighter * a hill dwarf fighter specializing in Great Weapon …and so forth. Here's a link to the newest version. Cheers, Roger
#20 Ramzour Jul 29, 2014 23:26:14	Great stuff! I like the index you came up with. Thanks!
#21 Azzy1974 Jul 30, 2014 3:59:54	Mad props, man!
